Summary:Microgrids are electrical systems that can operate in grid-connected or islanded modes. The proper design, construction, and operation of microgrids requires knowledge and expertise in multiple domains of electrical engineering. This paper presents the lessons learned from commissioning a real-world industry-grade microgrid using undergraduate and graduate students. It aims to demonstrate that microgrids serve as an effective teaching medium for undergraduate and graduate education.
